@howsexgotscrewedup.bsky.socialDYK #Eisenhower threw out of his military all the LGBT vets who had helped him win WWII? He denied them pensions, unemployment benefits, employment with the feds or its contractors, & punished civilian queers similarly. A hero, but not on all counts.

@erickson.pm📅 Dwight D. Eisenhower was born on this day in 1890. He later said plans are worthless but planning is everything. The document will age badly. The thinking you did to write it won't. #Eisenhower #Planning

@stephscythes.bsky.socialPresident/General #Eisenhower predicted and specifically warned against the rise of the #MilitaryIndustrialComplex which has controlled both parties - and thus the country - in the 🔴🔵 #duopoly since #Vietnam.
Trump's disdain for yet criminal use of the military itself is a bizarre twist.

@yossishow.bsky.socialTwo Navy aviators ejected safely after a landing mishap aboard USS Dwight D. Eisenhower off Virginia; four sailors hurt, one hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. The Navy has not identified the lost aircraft. #USNavy #Eisenhower #TDFP
@liamomaraiv.bsky.social#LittleRock mayor #WoodrowWilsonMann asked Pres. #Eisenhower to send in federal troops to enforce the #desegregation of schools. Eisenhower invoked the #InsurrectionAct on #ThisDayInHistory in 1957, using the Army and a federalized #ArkansasNationalGuard to protect #Black kids.

El mayor exponente de "thriller meteorológico". Jamás pensé ver tanta tensión en algo así (ni usar ese término). #BrendanFraser como #Eisenhower es para verlo (de bien que está). 🔗🔽

@happyhumanisttoday.bsky.socialIs it surprising that the #AISlop that Donald Trump posted of himself as a general (all little boys like to play war) had #GeneralEisenhower with upside down #Sergeant stripes? Do you think Trump could even tell that was wrong?

@suereeve.bsky.socialNot long out of cinema having seen #Pressure
Was totally unaware of the film until seeing an item about it on #c4news last week.
Absolutely excellent film about the military meteorologist, who insisted #Eisenhower delay #DDay due to the weather.
An Oscar nomination for an outstanding #AndrewScott ?
